We have good news for fans of the Asus Zenfone smartphone Series. USB Type C is becoming a new trend in the present smartphone industry, with more and more producers like Asus featuring this specs for their Zenfone Series. In a recent press interview, Asus revealed they are mostly ready to get the update with the next generation of Asus Zenfone for the Asus Zenfone 3. Most likely the new Asus Zenfone 3 with USB Type C and hopefully 6GB RAM will launch in March 2016.

In details, TrustedReviews had an exclusive interview with Asus CEO Shih. When the interviewer asked whether Asus will adopt USB Type C for their future products like the Asus Zenfone 3 and Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom, he said: “I think Type C is the way to go, frankly speaking,”. “You will see the answer when you see the ZenFone 3.”

Interesting! In just one answer, Shih has hinted for us 2 important information. Firstly, the company is planning (maybe even working) on the next generation of world-famous Zenfone 2: The expected Asus Zenfone 3. Secondly, he confirmed that USB Type C is the one feature that will not be missed out by Asus, and they are going to feature it. How cool!

When asked about why the company did not adopt USB Type C for Zenfone 2 2015, since being ahead in terms of technology could always be a nice advantage for any smartphone OEM, Asus CEO had an explanation I personally find very convincing and wise. He said that, for Zenfone, in order to keep their reputation of good price and guaranteed quality, they have to consider very carefully about the expensese. ” For Zenfone, each cent counts” – he said.

Including a new technology for smartphone, which is USB Type C port in this case, usually costs a great deal. Of course Asus wants to be ahead in the game, but “But if you’re too much ahead, then sometimes it may be a disaster” – explained Asus chairman. That is why the Taiwanese giant always tends to be careful and practical in their business strategies.
